[NA] Gold 5v5 Groupfighting League [Season 2][Started]

[Aurum]

North American 5v5 Groupfighting League

Introduction

The Gold 5v5 NA groupfighting league was created in order to provide a successful and fun Groupfighting experience for North Americans who can not participate successfully in EU Leagues (due to ping). We have selected to do a simple 5v5 groupfighting league due to the fact that it will most likely be easier to manage, quicker and more fun to play. We hope that in by creating a successful GF league we can spark up more tournaments in the NA scene (since its pretty dead atm). Please, get some mates together and join us if you love to groupfight and would like to participate in a tournament!

Information & Rules

The league will last around 5 weeks, 2 matches will be played every week. Games will be played at any time, any day in the week so long as there is a ref (or myself) present on the server. Melee speed will be set to fastest and it will be hosted on one of our own private servers with a custom Groupfighting map. Rounds will also be a best of 20 (11=win 10-10=tie). It will be a goal to have a maximum of 16(it was 10 last year  :-*) teams to play, however if it is not possible then something will be worked out. Matches will begin 1 week after teams are filled. Teams are allowed to have a maximum of 3 reserves (teams can be 8 in size).

Rules

Spoiler

1. No shooting

2. Reserves must watch the game (unless swapping registered members out - ref's responsibility to check roster)

3. Both teams may only have 5 people on it (if a player drops wait for him, have someone fill his spot or reorganize the match)

10. No invites may be allowed from other teams

12. Deadlines may be extended if requested for a special circumstance, otherwise the game will count as a loss for the team that can not make it

13. All inactivity must be reported to me before the team goes active (so something can be figured out beforehand)

14. Both team leaders must try to contact a ref and try to select a time and date to play their matches

17. All leaders and co-leaders must add me on steam

General Info

Spoiler

Server Info

Server name: Gold_Groupfighting_1 | Gold_Groupfighting_2 | Gold_Groupfighting_3
ALL games must be played on this server. It is a privilege to play on our server, so grief either as a player or ref and get banned and also disqualified from the League.
Password: None will be on it, however whoever is reffing may assign a password. Ask them for it if they decide to.

Procedures on how the game will go:

1) Contact other team captain and a referee

2) Get into the server with your appropriate tags that you signed up with.

3) Ensure that everyone INCLUDING the ref is ready and able to play

4) Line up before each round and then start the round by having only the team captains say "R" or Ready and then having the ref in admin chat say Go

5) Repeat #4 for 20 rounds until the game is over.

6) Document the game on this thread.

Other Info:

In the challonge bracket the rounds are the exact same as weeks. Round 1 & Round 1 extended = Week 1 and so forth. You may play either Round 1 or Round 1 extended game at any time.

If your team is NOT responding throughout the week contact me immediately!

Other Info

Prize Pool

Spoiler

We will be having a Prize pool for the tournament. The current pool is 100$, if you wish to add more to the pool contact me.
Winner gets 70$, 2nd gets 30$

The reasoning to this is that with teams of 5-8 people having a 3rd place prize would not be worth it as it would probably only be 2 dollars per person. I would rather do it this way so that it feels like 1st place gets something of decent value and that 2nd still gets something atleast. This can be prone to change if people demand.

Major Changes

Spoiler

- Most noteably is the server, we now have 3 dedicated servers for us to use, so there should be no excuse to play on a different server unless we have that many people playing at once.
- I will be much more strict in allowing roster changes mid way through. If you were previously on a team in the tournament then you are completely not allowed to join another team participating in the tournament. I will allow maybe 1 roster change mid season if it is needed desperately, but if it is the last two weeks then I will not allow it since that will be unfair to the rest of the players.

and thats pretty much it for now.
